We love baby Amelia

I think we need one of these.

Bike hunt

I have been wanting a bike for so long! It didn't have to be expensive - preferably as cheap as possible. We looked at Walmart, Target, and Academy. I ended up going with one from Target. And the best part was it was only $49! It was actually $200 but we got lucky and paid basically pennies. It's not the best quality, but hey, it works. 

Tyler wants one now, too!

Free time

What do we do in Houston when we have some free time? Yep, Croquet (or "la croix" as I once called it). We usually go to a park - either Discovery Green or Memorial Park. We don't really know all the rules but end up making them all up! We still have a lot of fun with friends and love having competitions. I love playing games! I've been wanting to play bocce ball and badminton so badly. Can't wait to have a backyard to play!

The joys of teaching

Recent student quotes:

Student: Is your husband in Italy?

Me: No, Why?

Student: Because you're happier when he's here!

Student: I am having a hard time rememberizing this song.

Me: Did you get to memorizing this song?

Student: Sort of, but some of it is still soggy.

Last week one of my cute students made this for me. Thought it was cute how she spelled my new last name. I have a feeling it will be spelled like this the rest of my life!

I was struggling with bad behavior in some of my group classes. I got fed up and asked some of the good kids what to do with those who misbehave. This what they came up with!

These little kiddos make me laugh each and every day. However, at the same time, they can sure make me lose my patience! I guess this can serve as preparation for when I have kids of my own :)

DALLAS HERE WE COME!

Tomorrow we get to go to the big-D and celebrate this silly kid's 5th birthday!

We are so excited to take a weekend getaway. No work, just all play. We have been counting down the days for months now and it's finally here! Can't wait to see my sister and her cute family. Tomorrow my dad and brother are flying in to come look at houses with us and then we'll drive straight to Dallas after that. Speaking of houses, we still haven't found a house! We are having a hard time deciding which area we want to live in and if we want to build or buy pre-owned. So many decisions around here. We have looked at 40+ homes and I'm ready for it to be over and done with. Houston is so big that it leaves us with many choices. Almost too many. Tyler and I are probably 2 of the most indecisive people in the world and we happened to marry each other. Oh dear. Someone tell us what to do!

I learn something new everyday

The other day I learned something very important...that Tyler is 32, not 31! A few months ago I blogged about his 31st birthday. Come to find out, I can't do math. I knew all along he was born in 1980 but didn't realize it was 2012. And even funnier, Tyler isn't the one who caught my mistake. It was his friend Joey! haha. Thanks, Joey for helping me learn new things about my husband. Small details.

Exhausting weekend

This past weekend was absolutely tiring! I played 3 weddings on Saturday and 2 church services on Sunday. By the time I finished all I wanted to do was go to bed. But it was 4 pm...so we decided to have a relaxing day by the pool. It was 82 degrees with no humidity. Something very unusual for Houston. We wish it was like this all year long. Everyone here thinks this summer is going to be a nightmare considering temperatures are already at a high and it's only March. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

Tyler relaxing at our pool. WE NEED VISITORS!!!
